Ingredients

Servings:

800 gram chicken chops
2 tablespoon yogurt
2 tablespoon olive oil
1 dessert spoon tomato paste
2 clove garlic
1 teaspoon sumac
0.5 dessert spoon lemon zest
1 dessert spoon red pepper flakes
1 dessert spoon thyme
0.5 teaspoon black pepper
1 dessert spoon salt

Step-by-Step Preparation

Speed:1x

Add yogurt, olive oil, tomato paste, crushed garlic, sumac, lemon zest, red pepper flakes, thyme, black pepper, and salt to a large mixing bowl. Mix all ingredients thoroughly with a whisk until a smooth consistency is achieved.

Place the chicken cutlets into this marinade sauce you have prepared. Blend well with your hands to ensure the sauce coats every side of the chicken evenly. Cover the top of the bowl with plastic wrap and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30-45 minutes.

Preheat your oven to 200 degrees and let it heat up. Meanwhile, prepare a baking tray by lining it with parchment paper.

Arrange the chicken cutlets, which have rested in the refrigerator and absorbed the sauce well, in a single row on the parchment-lined tray, leaving slight spaces between them.

Cook in the preheated 200 degree oven for approximately 35-40 minutes until the tops of the chickens are golden brown and the meat is fully cooked through. After removing from the oven, let them rest for 5 minutes for the initial heat to subside and serve hot.

Chef's Tips

If you have time, letting the chicken marinate in the refrigerator for 2-3 hours will significantly increase the tenderness and flavor balance of the meat.
Using baking paper on the oven tray helps the chicken retain its own juices and prevents it from sticking to the tray.

Alternative & Optional Ingredients

You can also choose boneless chicken thighs or chicken breast instead of chicken chops.
By using strained yogurt instead of yogurt, you can ensure the marinade sauce forms a thicker layer on the meat.

Gourmet Recommendations

You can serve it with roasted peppers, tomatoes, and a sumac onion salad with finely chopped fresh parsley.
At the serving stage, you can add 1 slice of fresh lemon to the side of the plate to add extra freshness as desired.
